Mother in trouble for hosting beer and weed party for group of 12 to 14-year-olds
A mother-of-three from Texas charged with hosting a marijuana and beer
party for a group of middle school students told police that she
“thought for minute that it was a bad idea” to provide alcohol and drugs
to the minors, but “did it anyway,” according to court records.
Mandy Wells, 32, is facing a felony and a misdemeanor charge in
connection with a weekend house party she hosted earlier this month for
about 10 students, aged 12 to 14.
As alleged in a probable cause affidavit, Wells provided the children
with cans of Coors Light beer and pot, which she packed into a glass
“Hello Kitty” pipe. The underage party-goers are friends with one of
Wells’s children.
Police learned of the party from a woman who allowed her 13-year-old
daughter to spend the night at Wells’s residence in Springtown, a city
about 25 miles northwest of Fort Worth. The teen told police that Wells
first gave the juveniles beer and then asked “if they wanted to smoke
marijuana.”
Two other Springtown Middle School students told investigators that they
drank beer and got high smoking pot provided by Wells.
During a subsequent search of Well’s home, police seized assorted drug
paraphernalia. In an interview with officers, Wells reportedly confessed
to providing the minors with pot and beer, but said that she “kept them under control.”
Wells, officers noted, “advised that the children did get ‘high,’ but
did not require any special attention.”
While acknowledging that she “thought for a minute” that it was a “bad
idea” to give her underage guests pot and beer, Wells said she “did it
anyway.” Wells also admitted to allowing her 14-year-old daughter to
smoke marijuana, saying that it helps with the girl’s depression.
Wells, police reported, said that she is “self medicating” her child
with pot because the medication her daughter has been prescribed “does
not work.”
When asked to name the person who sold her the pot, Wells clammed up,
prompting police to conclude that she was “more concerned with
protecting the identity of her marijuana supplier than the welfare of
the children that had been left in her care.”
According to a police spokesperson, Wells’s children were removed from
her home as police searched the residence. The minors remain in the
custody of the state’s child protective services division.
Wells is being held in the Parker County jail in lieu of $20,000 bond.
